I grew up in the middle of all this around 1964 I was 13.
My neighborhood was Grand & Paulina..right in between..going East..Grand & Ogden
where many Gaylords hung out By LaRoccs Hot dog stand..and between. Going West
C-Notes & Lazy Gents . I knew many of them growing up. Was so sad every time I run into friends from the old neighborhood who tell me who had passed on. At One time it was who got beat up, then it changedto who was found dead or died. My best friend at the time was a girl named Jonelle who's brother Dominick was a Gent. I lived in the general area till about 1979. Hung out By Bear Camboras house a Gaylord, dated a few .
I live in the burbs now But once in awhile still go visit the old hood...Thats now been yuppy-tized. But still some peeps never moved..still see the old homes..The kids may be gone..But the parents..are still there..some raising grandkids.

I was President of the C-Note set of Smith Park. My nickname is Pops. If you know Pops, then you know who I am. I was originally a Capone Brother, on Huron and Campbell. My brother, was a C-Note on S/W.He was also a Capone Brother. He went by Bo. Those day's weren't all great. We lost some brothers, every set, and club did. It was a bad time. At least theres some gusy out there, thinking about their brothers, like I and mien do all the time. God bless all of ya.
